The Langtang Circuit Trek is carefully designed to give first-time trekkers a true display of some of the most beautiful scenery the country has on offer. Visitors get to do an adventurous outing as this trek includes the Langtang Valley, the Holy Lake Gosaikunda, and the rugged pass of Lauribinayak at (4610m.). This region is situated close to the Tibetan border and the remote valley enclosed by snow-capped mountains that end with the peak of Langtang Lirung at (7246m).

The trip starts from Syabru Bensi, which is about an 8 hours lovely drive from Kathmandu, & then we trek through larch and rhododendron forests which are rich in wildflowers and birds, as we explore the head of the valley getting close to the glacier system. Finally, we scramble up a nearby not-so-high peak for amazing mountain views. On the way from the same place, we ascend and pass the holy lake of Gosaikunda and enter Helambu via the Laurebina pass (4610m). In between this transition, we will enjoy the stunning views of Mt. Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and the Annapurna massif on the way.

During the trek, we pass through the sub-tropical jungle, then a dense forest of oak, birch, and pine, and the valley, which is of alpine meadows and yak pastures that tells us how rich this region is in a kind of naturally eco-nature rarely seen anywhere else.

When we descend from the upper Langtang Valley, we retrace the route back to Syabru village & then continue our trek to holy Gosainkund Lake. After crossing Gosainkund pass (4610m), the trail continues and leads to the Helambu valley then we make almost a circle going through Tharepati, Kutumsang, Chisapani, and Sundarijal before driving back to Kathmandu.

The forest of Langtang Region is also well known for its wildlife, including red pandas, Himalayan black bears, wild boar, and langur monkeys. Similarly, we also can sight monkeys between Syabru and Ghora Tabela. The views of snowcapped mountains -Langtang Lirung, Pemthang Ri, Langshisha Ri, Dorje Lakpa, and Kangchenpo, & Tillman’s fluted peaks seem awesome in the distance beyond the horizons. This is a sublime trek that truly gives your holidays the kind of meaning you’ve always wanted when choosing to give you true value for what you spend.

There are some other trekking program in Langtang National Park and the most popular are the Tamang Heritage Trail trek, Langtang Valley Trek, Langtang Gosaikunda Lake Trek and Helambu Valley Trek.
